What vehicle produces zero emissions, reduces traffic, improves your health, and is a thrill to use? The bicycle. Join staff and members of the Cascade Bicycle Club as they discuss the next big thing in urban transit: commuting by bike.

Compute your commute

Last fall one of the members of the Cascade forums turned me onto the Gmaps Pedometer website, formerly sueandpaulmaps. Using this site, you can map of your commute to see how long it is. If you don’t have a bike computer, or if yours keeps telling you that you’re speed is 234mph like mine does, this website comes in handy.
